I've written for the New York Times Opinionator blogs, Spiegel Online, the Guardian, The Atlantic, Paris Review Daily, Literary Hub, Times, Telegraph, Literary Review, Freitag, Atlas Obscura, NPR's The Salt, Eve, New Woman and the New Statesman among others. I'm a member of the Equine Research Network.

In 2016 I won the Sophie Coe Prize for an essay on food history called “'Horsemeat is Certainly Delicious': Anxiety, Xenophobia and Rationalism at a Nineteenth-Century American Hippophagic Banquet." This essay is a chapter in the collection Equine Cultures: Horses, Human Society, and the Discourse of Modernity, 1700–Present, edited by Kristen Guest and Monica Mattfeld. It will be published by the University of Chicago Press.

A further chapter, "Inventing the Wild Horse: the Manmade History of the Takhi and Tarpan" will appear in Horse Breeds and Human Society: Purity, Identity and the Making of the Modern Horse, edited by Kristen Guest and Monica Mattfeld. It will be published as part of the Routledge Human-Animal Studies Series edited by Henry Buller.
